So far, my self-hosting has been limited to Pi-Hole, and a static website. I now want to try out something new, an **Immich ** server.

I have a static IP from my ISP, so I don’t need to rent out a VPS. However, given that this IS a home internet, I want to be extra sure that it is going to be secure.

In my existing website, I use Fail2Ban + BadBotBlocker + Anubis + Nginx rate limits to protect it from scrapers, bots and malicious users, and it works well. With photos (especially family photos) at stake, I just want to know more on how to protect my server.

    Thousands or businesses run public URLs, as long as you configure it right you are mostly good.

    Part of “configuring it right” for companies is generally having the public-side be pretty well walled off from anything internal though, there isn’t anything wrong with taking the same approach at home, too
